...and yeah, the scene was schmaltzy as fukk....but the rest of the episode was great. Good have done without the Rudy bit though.....

That was actually a pretty damn good episode save for the last 4 minutes. That Rudy reference was telegraphed from a mile away (so was Neal punching the screen), and it's kind of a weak comparison anyway.

This show is best when dealing directly with broadcasting the news. Everything else just isn't working very well.

The rudy scene was corny as hell but it was a dope episode.

Made me do a lot of reading about the Glass Stegall act.

The Olivia Munn hate mob on the Internet is pretty strong tho. Too many nerds still hurt over Attack of the Show.

If you watch Inside Job that does a great job of covering G-S (and the aftermath).

Pretty much just seems that people didn't like that she was a real nerd, just a model/actress, ignoring the fact that damn near everyone on the station save for Morgan Webb, Sessler and Kevin were actors/models/comedians that would love to be in the position Munn is right now.

Even Blair, the comic book head, is a comedian and was a writer on the show before being an on air person.

its pretty clear that is mostly G4 not knowing how to make a video game/gadget entertaining

but she still needs to keep her clothes on

the writing dip into left-extremism when they started whining about the teachers' salary and unions, was aaron sorkin's mother a teacher??, sheesh!!!

Show is good at all points. A little smug, but I dig it.
